Creations of mad hedge mages and rural druids, blazethorn scarecrows are hideous hodgepodges of magically treated sticks, rope, and other materials. Blazethorns can engulf themselves in flames indefinitely without burning. They stand watch over barren moors, appearing as terrifying, vaguely human effigies until they burst into flame and begin to move.
Blazethorn scarecrows are favored as instruments of arson, their fires easily reducing whole farmsteads to ash. Rural humans and halflings have learned to hate and fear the creatures and any spellcaster who controls one. Despite their great mass, blazethorns are deceptively quick. Like common animated scarecrows, they strike supernatural fear in their opponents, and their jagged claws leave horrid bleeding wounds.
A blazethorn scarecrow stands anywhere from 10 to 15 feet tall.
These vile constructs are associated with the god Hinnva, who is known to bestow the secrets of their creation to his faithful. They are usually used as defense for more fragile spellcasters. They are especially common in Reb’ka.
